GIFT ME

They asked me

"Why are you shouting??”
Alas
I couldn’t explain
That I was trying to sing…



Oh!!! Gift me a voice…
Gift me a voice so sweet…
That would turn my cries
Into a charming song…


I wish
I were a cuckoo
Hiding among the leaves
And shouting loudly
To have my heart light…



And people would
Take me to be singing
And praise me
For my hitherto sweetest song…



Oh!!! Just gift me
Just gift me a sweet voice…

PSEUDO SONNET-13 (SHADOW OF HER MAN)

{ This is an experimental acrostic poem. This has 14 unmetred, non rhyming lines. }  S he walked down that deserted street... Alone. H er face stern to suppress flow of tears. A nd others smiling at her torn clothes, D ark cut marks, rewards from that beastly man, O n her limbs and torso, rewards from him, W ho had killed her man, profaning her love. O n and on she walked, beastly eyes kept smiling. F orbearing her from meeting those greedy eyes... H er feet dragged her towards that graveyard, E ntombed, where her man was lying, clad in orchids. R akes of city crept behind her... She ran. M erging with her shadow, someone gave her faith. A nd walked with her arm in arm untill her death. N one except her felt- the shadow of her man.
